Driver Injured In Cantonment Crash That Cut Power For Hundreds
February 14, 2018
An early morning wreck sent one person to the hospital and cut power to about 750 homes and businesses in Cantonment.
The driver of a Dodge Ram pickup lost control, ran off the roadway and slammed into a utility pole about 3:50 a.m.
The adult male was trapped in his vehicle and extricated by firefighters before being transported as a trauma alert by Escambia County EMS to Sacred Heart Hospital.
A utility pole was snapped during the crash. Gulf Power crews restored power just after 9 a.m.
The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. The Cantonment and Ensley stations of Escambia Fire Rescue and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office also responded.

We lost power because of this crash. There seems to be a incident every day. I don’t know what the solution is, but cellphones are part of the problem. My husband also witnessed the West Roberts accident yesterday where a motorist hit a boat! No wonder car insurance is so high in Florida.
Is this in the same area that they at one time called Dead Man’s Curve?
It seems like it’s always been a mess. My dad worked at the mill 30+ years and if it wasn’t the train it was the “speed zone” or another fender bender slowing things down.

Yes Carolyn, it is the elephant in the room. Over the past several years I’ve seen more head on and single vehicle crashes than I have in my entire life. It’s almost like something has been added in the last few years to the formula that creates a danger for everyone on the road. I hope they figure it out before I’m on the wrong end of one of these vehicles out of control.

It will be interesting to find out what happened here. Another day, another single vehicle crash?
Internet is also out. Argh!!!
